Video: How Socialization Benefits Your Dog

Socializing your dog is extremely critical. They're pack animals and not socializing your dog, that is not getting him to play with other dogs, exposing them to other dogs, is like taking your child and locking them up in their room and never letting them play with another child or be with anyone their own age. That's really not a good thing. And while there are dogs that are nonsocial, um that tends to stem from something that happened when they were very young as a puppy. Either they were never socialized, um or it could have been an event that happened in the litter itself that kind of makes them I don't like other dogs. But socialization is very very critical for their mental health, their well-being, and also for your mental health and well-being. When you take the dog out, you'd like to take your dog to the park, you'd like to take your dog for a walk, whatever it may be, go to the store. If your dog's not social, it's just that, you know, bark bark, pulling on the leash, and that's not fun for you and and that's not fun for the dog. So, our daycare, for example, is all about socializing your dog. Trainers are there to help. If you know your dog is having some issues, there's a lot of times they can train your dog to be social. A lot of times it's anxiety or fear related that's causing them to react that way.
